Flame-retardant concentrates in standard formulations or custom
made. Pellets, cubes and powders available for use in most
thermoplastics. Concentrates can incorporate color and/or other
additives.

ARKADIA PLASTICS, INC.

Thermoplastic compounder and formulator with blends and alloys with
research and development capabilities. More than 40 years of experience
in compounding, research and development, and technical service.

Reactive brominated flame retardants include tetrabromobisphenol A
(BA-59P) and tetrabromophthalic anhydride (PHT-4) for epoxies and
unsaturated polyesters. Dibromostyrene can be reacted into any polymer
system to replace styrene monomer. For rigid urethanes, a diol of
tetrabromophthalic anhydride (PHT-4 Dial) is used as a reactive flame
retardant.

Intumescent flame retardants available as alternatives to
conventional brominated products. NH-1511 and NH-1197 are
phosphorus-based flame retardants for PP, PE, thermoplastic polyester
and epoxy resins. Available as liquids or solids with a range of organic
bromine content, melt points, and organic solubilities.

Full line of phosphate-based flame retardants includes triphenyl
phosphate, resorcirol diphosphate, bisphenyl-A disphosphate, and
numerous other phosphate esters, which can be used in PVC, engineering
thermoplastics, and other applications.

Grades of antimony oxide include high-tint TMS, low-tint Trutint
and submicron Microfine. Available as dry powders; damped with oils,
water or plasticizers; dispersions in oils, water or plasticizers; or
predispersed in nondusting forms under the tradenames of Fyrebloc for
pellet concentrates and Envirostrand for a high-loading patented strand
product.

Fyrebloc and Envirostrand products can incorporate other flame
retardants such as halogens, in addition to antimony, and can be
tailored to suit application requirements. Range of standard products
available to suit most polymers.

Smokebloc smoke suppressants and inorganic flame-retardant
synergists primarily designed for PVC, but have application in other
polymer areas. Products include Ongard 2 magnesium/zinc complex with
strong smoke suppressancy and flame-retardant synergism; AZ products,
which incorporate both antimony and zinc chemistry; and Smokebloc Eleven
and Twelve, which incorporate antimony and molybdenum chemistry.

Also supplies Firesheild and Thermoguard antimony oxide in various
particle sizes, including ultrafine grades that preserve the physical
properties of resins and grades that have lower tinting strength, which
can save on coloring costs. Thermoguard FR sodium antimonate has a basic
p1-1 and is used as a synergist in acid-sensitive polymers like PET,
PBT, and PC. It has low opacity and permits formulating semi-transparent
FR compounds.

Declorane Plus is a highly stable chlorinated organic product
available in various particle sizes. This nonmelting, white solid is
heat stable up to 320[degrees]C, hydrolytically stable, uv stable, and
nonreactive. It also reportedly imparts superior electrical properties
for uses in wire and cable. It has lower density (1.8 g/cc) and
generates less smoke than most bra-minated flame retardants. It is used
in a wide variety of plastics like ABS, epoxy, EVA, PE, PP, PBT, nylon,
phenolic, unsaturated polyester, polyurethane, and styrenic TPE.

Pyronil 45 is an organic liquid containing 45% bromine that can
serve as a secondary FR or FR plasticizer in ABS, epoxy, PPO/ PPE
alloys, PBT, PC, PVC, polyurethane, and unsaturated polyester. It also
acts as a flow promoter. Uses include wire and cable, electronics, car
eting, upholstery, and building insulation.

CLARIANT ADDITIVE MASTERBATCHES

Cesa-flain niasterbatches offer a wide range of efficient and
universally usable halogenated flame retardants as well as some specific
halogen-free solutions. Unlike flame retardants that are incorporated
into the polymer molecule during polymerization, flame-retardant
masterbatches allow variable dosing levels and thus enhance flexibility
during process. Effects may be either physical or chemical, occurring in
either the gaseous or solid phase. Custom masterbatches also available
along with masterbatches that combine active ingredients with selected
pigments and dyestuffs.

Provides polymeric, environmentally-friendly, flame retardant
solutions to the plastics industry. Our non-halogenated polyphosphonate
copolymers and homopolymers provide a range of toughness, arc
transparent, possess high melt flow and achieve the highest limiting
oxygen index of all commercially available thermoplastics. FRX Polymers
are particularly well suited for use as both inherently flame retardant
plastics and as polymeric flame retardent additives.

ICL-IP AMERICA INC

Produces a series of high quality flame retardants, applicable to a
wide range of plastics, polymers and polymer alloys. Comprehensive range
of bromine based and phosphorus-based flame retardants, fire resistant
plasticizers and hydraulic fluids for high demanding applications.
Product line also includes high-purity grades of magnesium hydroxide and
an ATO replacment synergist

IMERYS PERFORMANCE MINERALS AND TALC

Talc and Mica could be used in flame retardant formulations for
improving mechanical properties. High aspect ratio products such as
Luzenac HAR talc as well as mica products are most sutiable as they
offer enhanced barier properties that could improve flame retardant
performance in many formulations. Talc products also help with enhancing
char content and char strength in flame retardant formulations.

KENRICH PETROCHEMICALS, INC.

Ken-React pyrophosphate-derived titanate coupling agents are said
to act also as flame retardants. When used with mineral fillers, they
reportedly enhance flame resistance without an increase in cost or
handling difficulty or loss of physical and theological properties
relative to unfilled or lightly filled compounds. Product is said to
prevent splaying or exudation of antimony oxide/halogen-type systems.

LANXESS CORPORATION

Disflamoll phosphoric acid esters serve as flame-retardant
plasticizers in PVC. Line includes various aryl, alkyl, and alkylaryl
esters.

PCC now offers a new line of safe, non-halogenated flame retardant
systems for polypropylene. FlamaSol FR contains no decabromodiphenyl
oxide (decabrome) nor antimony, two common ingredients in most flame
retardant packages. Decabrome and antimony trioxide are considered
potentially toxic and are thus being eliminated in flame retardant
formulations, with manufacturing scheduled to cease in 2012.

Our Solutions Center: The PCC Solutions Center developed FlamaSol
FR in response to a rising need in the marketplace for safer flame
resistant plastics. Our team of scientists at PCC tested a wide variety
of materials under simulated temperature and combustion conditions to
find the best formulations for our customers.

PCC's new non-brominated flame retardant PP system produces
superb extinguishing performance without the use of these hazardous
chemicals. FlamaSol FR is ideal for use in construction materials
(electrical conduit, junction boxes, switch boxes), warehousing products
(shelving and pallets), personal electronic equipment (computers,
printers and televisions) and other applications where extreme heat may
cause ignition. Products made with FlamaSol FR will self-extinguish,
protecting surroundings and personnel from fire hazards.

FRC-2005 flame retardant/uv stabilizer concentrate system for
polyolefins provides a combination of properties for film, sheet, foams
and molded articles. Properties include low specific gravity; no
degradation of physical properties of base polymer; long-term thermal
and uv protection; non-yellowing and non-blooming; no heavy metals; no
forming of dioxins when heated or incinerated; passing UL, MVSS-302 and
NFPA flame tests when properly formulated. Variations available for low-
and high density PE and PP.
